Can I add another clown?

I would get a mature male and not a juv. The juv is so small the big female can kill it pretty easily.

That is against the grain of everything I've heard and read. Not only the people on here, but articles as well. Luckily, they're getting along well so it looks like it's a success.
 
Any news how are they doing

Checked on them this morning and during lunch, and they were fine. The male is getting a little more relaxed, and going to the center of the nem, and the female at times seems a little irritated by it, and bumps him off a little, but really, I wouldn't call it aggression. They've been locked in the anemone the entire time together. I'll check again tonight, but I think I've found a winner right off the bat. :bounce1:

I'll try to get a few pics up tonight for sure. The size difference is HUGE! It's a crack up. I hope my female lives long enough to let the male grow up a bit!

Wow there is a tad pool in your tank next to that big *** maroon . Just playing look really happy. Im happy for you that it all work out
 
Not bad pics, and they certainly tell the story, yeah, female is a big one especially compared to her male.
He'll probably get a little closer to her size over time, maybe about 2/3 her size.
Looks good so far, I'm sure they will be cool together.
 
That's very cool. Thanks for the Picts. Did you have the large one from the time she was little and was she light in color like the little one is now?

Just curious because I had paired cinnamons but the larger (female) died from an ich outbreak. She was darker and the smaller fish was lighter. When the larger one died, the one that was left got bigger and is now a dark cinnamon rather than the light orange. I was wondering if that was a sign of maturing or becoming female.

I'd like to get another cinnamon to pair so I'll use this approach and get a tiny one. Keep us posted... with more picts too. ;)

I've had the female about 4 years. She was pretty decent sized at the time, pretty much the same color, dark. Maybe a little lighter, but not much.

Thanks everyone for the comments and help with this. I'll keep everyone updated. They seem to be getting along fine, and the male is eating as well, so things seem good. Male won't venture anywhere else though, he stays in the nem 24/7.
